Journey to Wellness: Dr. Howard Chang's 40-Year Battle with Psoriasis and His Mission to Address Healthcare Inequities Among People of Color
The Not Old Better Show, Inside Science Interview Series
Welcome to The Not Old Better Show Inside Science and Healthcare Interview Series on radio and podcast. I'm Paul Vogelzang, and today's show is brought to you by LiquidIV Fueling Life's Adventures. As part of our Inside Science interview series, we continue our ongoing healthcare series. Sometimes, our healthcare interviews, particularly on the science side of things, can get a bit detailed and, well, scientific. That's great, but it's always nice to hear the story of someone who's been impacted by that healthcare and by that science. Today, our guest, Howard Chang, offers his important story. Howard Chang will join us momentarily, and I'll introduce him then, but we have much to discuss today.
But quickly, if you missed any episodes, last week was our 736th episode when I spoke with Dr. Bridget Cole Williams, who specializes in family practice and cannabis medicine, along with mental health and cannabis, sleep, skin care with cannabis, and much more. Two weeks ago, I spoke with Smithsonian's Dr. Floyd Shockley to help us understand the Spotted Lantern Fly, Hammerhead Worm, and all other insects and their role in our environment. Excellent subjects for our Not Old Better Show audience. If you missed those shows, along with any others, you can go back and check them out with my entire back catalog of shows, all free for you, there on our website, NotOld-Better.com. You can Google Not Old Better and get everything you need about us!
As I mentioned, healthcare patient stories can be so much more powerful and meaningful than just the data, research, and science, albeit impactful.
Howard Chang is not only a name but a symbol of perseverance, dedication, and empathy. Living with severe plaque psoriasis (PsO) for over 40 years, Howard's life has been a remarkable journey of fighting not just a personal battle but leading a communal one. Howard Chang is a champion of advocacy for those people of color living with healthcare inequities; he is a prolific writer on this subject of his advocacy, a spiritual leader who holds a Doctor of Ministry, and someone whose story of resilience and leadership will be inspiring and have a profound impact on our Not Old Better Show audience, as it has with me. Howard Chang's story is a compe
